Harquahala's post office was established
March 5, 1891 and discontinued December 31, 1932. The Bonanza
and Gold Eagle veins that were responsible for Harquahala's
existence were discovered in November 1888. Harqua Hala sprang
into existence immediately and even sported its own newspaper,
the "Harquahala Miner". A 20 stamp mill was erected
and gold was cast into 400 lb ingots. This proved to be a problem
as they sometimes broke through the transport wagon's floor unbeknownst
to the drivers. There was rumored to be a lot of high grading
in Harquahala. Children would sing loudly while their fathers
scrapped the arrastra beds for residual gold. Today there are
only a few ruins left.

Harqua Hala, Arizona was the birthplace of a major league baseball player named Flame Delhi. He pitched in one game for the Chicago White Sox in 1912. He was born in Harqua Hala on November 5, 1892.
